glFTPD Technical Docs for v2.00
Maintained by: Bloody_A #glftpd (efnet)
This document goes over a number of technical specifications that could be useful
for coders of external utils/scripts. The nature of these documents is really technical
and this document is not ment for the general user.
In this document we assume that the reader has basic understanding of programming C
or is capable to understand things as structs.
Table of contents:
I. Binary (log) files.
II. passwd and group file.
III. User files.
IV. Group files.
V. Shared memory.
.-------------------------.
|I. Binary (log) files. |
`-------------------------'
1. The dirlog.
The dirlog contains all the directories created via the site. This is used
when executing `site new` or `site search`. It should be updated
if anything moves on the site.
The format is as the below shown C struct.
struct dirlog {
ushort status; /* 0 = NEWDIR, 1 = NUKE, 2 = UNNUKE, 3 = DELETED */
time_t uptime; /* Creation time since epoch (man 2 time) */
ushort uploader; /* The userid of the creator */
ushort group; /* The groupid of the primary group of the creator */
ushort files; /* The number of files inside the dir */
unsigned long long bytes; /* The number of bytes in the dir */
char dirname[255]; /* The name of the dir (fullpath) */
struct dirlog *nxt; /* Unused, kept for compatibility reasons */
struct dirlog *prv; /* Unused, kept for compatibility reasons */
};
2. The laston log.
The laston log file contains all the logins from all users with flags that specify
which kind of actions the user did while being logged in.
The format is as the below shown C struct.
struct lastonlog {
char uname[24]; /* username */
char gname[24]; /* users primary group */
char tagline[64]; /* users tagline */
time_t logon; /* users logon time */
time_t logoff; /* users logoff time */
unsigned long long upload; /* bytes uploaded */
unsigned long long download; /* bytes downloaded */
char stats[7]; /* what did the user do ? */
};
The stats field is always filled with 6 chars. Each different option has its own place
in the field. If a flag is set the letter will be there, if not there will be a - in that place.
The possible flags are: U - user uploaded, D - user downloaded, L - user lost connection,
T - user timed out, A - user added a new user, N - user did atleast one nuke.
3. The nukelog.
The nukelog contains all the information on nuked directories.
The format is as the below shown C struct.
struct nukelog {
ushort status; /* 0 = NUKED, 1 = UNNUKED */
time_t nuketime; /* The nuke time since epoch (man 2 time) */
char nuker[12]; /* The name of the nuker */
char unnuker[12]; /* The name of the unnuker */
char nukee[12]; /* The name of the nukee */
ushort mult; /* The nuke multiplier */
float bytes; /* The number of bytes nuked */
char reason[60]; /* The nuke reason */
char dirname[255]; /* The dirname (fullpath) */
struct nukelog *nxt; /* Unused, kept for compatibility reasons */
struct nukelog *prv; /* Unused, kept for compatibility reasons */
};
4. The dupefile.
The dupefile contains the dupe database for all files uploaded through glftpd.
The format is as the below shown C struct.
struct dupefile {
char filename[256]; /* The filename */
time_t timeup; /* Creation time since epoch (man 2 time) */
char uploader[25]; /* Name of the uploader */
};
5. The onelinerslog.
The onelinerslog contains all the oneliners added by the users.
The format is as the below shown C struct.
struct oneliner {
char uname[24]; /* The user that added the oneliner */
char gname[24]; /* The primary group of the user who added the oneliner */
char tagline[64]; /* The tagline of the user who added the oneliner */
time_t timestamp; /* The time the message was added (epoch) */
char message[100]; /* The message (oneliner) */
};
.-----------------------------.
|II. passwd and group file. |
`-----------------------------'
These files are standard unix password/group files.
*** Note: glftpd does not have support for shadow files.
1. The passwd file
This file contains the username, password, UID and home directory for
each glftpd user. The format is as follows:
glftpd:6uwHOjJ3grid6:0:0:0:/site:/bin/false
user:encrypted passwd:UID:GID:Creation Date:homedir:irrelevant
2. The group file
This file contains the groupnames, long groupnames and the gid (group id)
for all your non-private groups. The format is as follows:
glftpd:glftpd:0:5
short group name:long group name:GID:irrelevant
.-----------------.
|III. User files. |
`-----------------'
The userfiles are used to store user specific information. This includes
things like up and download stats, credits, allow ip's to login from and
many many other things. A complete list of options with descriptions is
shown below. The vars are shown in C printf format and a short description
is added behind the //. The fields between the [SECTION] and [ENDSECTION]
markers have the fields specified for each existing section.
--------Start--------
USER %s // Custom comment line (can be set with site change)
GENERAL %d,%lu %d %lu %lu // Weekly Allotment sections, weekly allotment / max idle time / max down speed / max up speed
LOGINS %d %d %d %d // Max simult. logins / max simult. logins from the same IP / max simult. downloads / max simult. uploads
TIMEFRAME %d %d // Allowed logins from hour / till hour
FLAGS %s // The users flags
TAGLINE %s // The users tagline
DIR %s // The users startup dir
ADDED %ld %s // The user was added on time by luser
[SECTION]
CREDITS %lld // The amount of credits the user has
RATIO %d // The ratio of the user
ALLUP %u %llu %lu // Files / Bytes / Time
ALLDN %u %llu %lu // Files / Bytes / Time
WKUP %u %llu %lu // Files / Bytes / Time
WKDN %u %llu %lu // Files / Bytes / Time
DAYUP %u %llu %lu // Files / Bytes / Time
DAYDN %u %llu %lu // Files / Bytes / Time
MONTHUP %u %llu %lu // Files / Bytes / Time
MONTHDN %u %llu %lu // Files / Bytes / Time
NUKE %lu %u %llu // Last time nuked / Times nuked / Bytes nuked
[ENDSECTION]
TIME %d %ld %d %ld // Number of times logged in / Last time we saw the user / Max online time a day / Time online today
GROUP %.15s %d // This line can be repeated if the user is in more than 1 group, groupname / gadmin
PRIVATE %s // This line can be repeated if the user is in more than 1 private group, groupname
IP %s // This line can be repeated if the user has multiple ip's added, IP
--------Stop--------
The line below works only in default.* files and will be parsed on user
creation and change the home dir of the added user to that.
HOMEDIR /site/$gluser // The $gluser will be replaced with the users username.
.------------------.
|IV. Group files. |
`------------------'
The groupfiles are used to store group specific information. This is for
example, slots, max simult. logins. A complete list of options with descriptions is
shown below. The vars are shown in C printf format and a short description
is added behind the //.
--------Start--------
GROUP %s // Custom comment, can be set with site grpchange
SLOTS %d %d %d %lu // The group slots / group leech slots / weekly allotment slots / max allotment size a gadmin can give
GROUPNFO %s // A group description
SIMULT %d // The max number of users from this group who can login to the site at the same time
--------Stop--------
.--------------------.
|V. Shared memory. |
`--------------------'
Glftpd makes use of shared memory for keeping track of all actions of all processes
since its not a threaded program. To access shared memory you need an ipc key.
This key can be specified in the glftpd.conf, if none was specified the default key
is used which is "0x0000DEAD". In the shmem we store a struct for each running proccess
with information about it. Since shared memory needs to be initialized with a specific
size we have a max_users setting in the config. The sum of the 2 options for this setting
times the size of the struct will be initialized. The struct used in the shared memory
is below in a C struct.
struct ONLINE {
char tagline[64]; /* The users tagline */
char username[24]; /* The username of the user */
char status[256]; /* The status of the user, idle, RETR, etc */
short int ssl_flag; /* 0 = no ssl, 1 = ssl on control, 2 = ssl on control and data */
char host[256]; /* The host the user is comming from (with ident) */
char currentdir[256]; /* The users current dir (fullpath) */
long groupid; /* The groupid of the users primary group */
time_t login_time; /* The login time since the epoch (man 2 time) */
struct timeval tstart; /* replacement for last_update. */
struct timeval txfer; /* The time of the last succesfull transfer. */
unsigned long long bytes_xfer; /* bytes transferred so far. */
unsigned long long bytes_txfer; /* bytes transferred in the last loop (speed limiting) */
pid_t procid; /* The processor id of the process */
};
